The Bodstedter Bodden is a lagoon on the north coast of Germany, west of the island of Rügen, which is part of the so-called Darß-Zingster Bodden-chain. On the north side the lagoon is bordered from the Baltic Sea by two parts of a T-shaped peninsula: Darß and Zingst. On just a single point, the Bodden is 10 meters deep, but in general it is nowhere deeper than 3 meters. The strongly indented, reed-bordered coastline forms a picturesque landscape, resulting in the fact that the coastal villages are popular tourist destinations. It reminds me of the coast of the IJsselmeer in Holland, thus a bit familiar.
